Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall Lighiche has a curved summit ridge running from Meall Lighiche in the W to Creag Bhan in the E. From Meall Lighiche, a broad ridge runs W Meall an Aodainn (678m) at the head of Glen Creran and from Creag Bhan a second ridge runs N into Gleann Leac-na-muidhe. These two ridges offer alternative ascent routes, with the N ridge being the conventional route. Whilst the extremities of the ridges are craggy, Meall Lighiche itself is relatively crag free apart from the summit which is more rocky.

Really worthwhile nipping up this hill during the ascent of neighbouring Munro Sgor na h-Ulaidh. The view from Meall Lighiche proved very beneficial in spotting a good route through the craggy slopes of the Munro above the bealach the two peaks share.
